  • High Moss located near Seathwaite in the Duddon Valley, Lake District
  • Craigallan, located near Ballachullish, Scotland.

Booking to stay at a hut

Full details for each hut, including how to pay fees, can be found by following the links at the end of this page. 

Please contact the hut warden to check availability and get a confirmed booking. This allows the hut wardens to manage attendance and contact others who have already booked to use the hut if needed. 

For Beudy Mawr and High Moss, no one must visit a hut without a confirmed booking. 

Although a confirmed booking is normally required at Craigallan, we understand that Members may wish to use the hut unexpectedly for reasons such as transport problems or adverse weather.  In such situations the hut may be used without a confirmed booking from the Warden. However, priority for bed space must be given to anyone who arrives at the hut with a confirmed booking.

Use of huts is covered in Byelaw 6 and hut fees are set out in Byelaw 7 which appears in the handbook and on this website here: https://rucksackclub.org/rules-of-the-rucksack-club-ltd/ 

Please leave huts clean and tidy and in a condition you would expect to find them.  If you notice any damage or repairs needed, or if the hut is short on consumables such as bin liners or toilet rolls, please inform the hut warden.

Thank you.
